BRS is awesome, Kessil is questionably greedy.By chadon 12/8/2016

chad wouldn't recommend this product to a friend

BRS awesome experience as usual. As far as the product, $20 MAP price for this is absurd given the short length. Almost guarantee they only made it this short so more people have to buy the extension cable for another $20. This extension cable is NOTHING more than a stereo mini-headphone extension cable available on amazon for less than $5.

I love my kessil lights, but this is nothing other than highway robbery.

I would only recommend this to people that don't have the ability to DIY a cable.

This is my first Apex and used it to hook up my Kessils. It was the perfect length for me and was easy to use.

Kessil quality, but it's too shortBy KerryFon 3/29/2016

Works as expected with Neptune Apex. Had to buy an extension to connect it up.

Works but is too short!By Johnon 12/27/2015

John would recommend this product to a friend

It connects your Kessil to the apex but is too short for what I would estimate to be most needs. My tank is a 36 inch cube with the apex about a foot to the right of the tank. I had to buy an extension cord to reach my apex. I took off 2 stars based on it being unusable for all but the smallest tanks due to length.

Kessil and Neptune, great combinationBy Mikeon 12/6/2015

Works as described. As others suggest, connection length options would get the fifth star.

Length issues for most.By Josephon 5/30/2015

Joseph would recommend this product to a friend

Less stars for length.
Cable works great but needs to o be offered in longer lengths. If you have a nano or cube you should be fine. Any larger tanks say 4 to 6 feet long your in trouble. First off you use up 2' on the gooseneck so that leaves 4' to make it to your vdm ports so if you mount it up under the back of your tank you'll be okay but most of use don't want any of our apex stuff right over the sump duh!

I had to buy extensions which I did not buy the Kessil ones wow they are not cheap. Once again getting nickel and dimmed for extra stuff. I bought three extensions for way less than Kessil ones. What would make these cables perfect from the start would to offer in different sizes or just a larger size such as 6' 10' or 12'. In fact why not just make them all 6' or 12' I mean seriously when your already making the wire what would it cost to add a couple feet, cents. I almost feel like they are wasting money making extension cables and they could save us customers money by thinking this out better. Let see spend a few more cents to make it longer or charge a rediculas price of 19.99 for an extension cable. I bought some bad a extension cable on Ama for $8 each.

Cable works exactly as described to control a Kessil light from an Apex controller. Like others said it could be longer, but it's easy to find a simple 3.5mm headphone extension cable to solve this.

Great CableBy Jasonon 4/15/2015

Jason would recommend this product to a friend

This cable was used on an Innovative Marine Fusion 40 and had more than sufficient length in this environment. Good, tight connections at both the RJ45 and 3.5mm ends. Jacket seems sufficient to withstand use in its intended application, too.

While the cable did reach I would have appreciated an extra foot or 2. For the price they could have included the extenstion cable. Overall does what it needs too.

A must have cable for all Apex users. The length may be an issue with larger tanks/set ups, but for most nano reefs, it's perfect.

What control unit do you need to plug these into the apex on do you need the VDM unit for the apex to use this cable from a kessil to these?

Question by: Ryan on Mar 10, 2014 4:31:00 AM

Hi Ryan,
These interface between the Kessil A360 and the Neptune VDM ports. You don't necessarily need to have a VDM module as the standard Apex system has two VDM ports built right into it. If you don't have the standard Apex or are already using the two VDM ports then you would need an additional VDM module.

Do you need two of these cables if you want your APEX to control two lights? Or do you buy the daisy chain cable and one of these?

Question by: Shawn on Jan 15, 2014 8:26:00 AM

If you want each light to be controlled separately, then you would need two cables. If you want each light following the same schedule you can control the first light via the Apex and then daisy chain the second light to the first.
